What do Donald Trump, Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman, speech therapy, and persuasion have in common? Apparently… everything.
This week, Anne sits down with Emmy-nominated emcee, comedian, speaker, impressionist, and all-around character John Di Domenico (https://beacons.ai/thejohnnydshow) for a conversation that starts with celebrity impressions and unexpectedly turns into a fascinating deep dive into the power of the human voice.
John shares how overcoming a severe childhood speech impediment led him to develop an incredible understanding of voice, cadence, pacing, and influence, and why most of us are leaving a huge amount of our vocal potential untapped.
